Meditation for Mind and Body – Ven. Chamtrul Rinpoche

Description:

A fascinating talk about the importance of guided meditation. Filmed in Swansea in 2016, Chamtrul Rinpoche looks at the benefit of guided meditation not just from an individual viewpoint but also from a cultural and a global ‘wellbeing’ context.

It is well known that Buddhist have employed, for more than 2 millennia, strict training techniques to guide the mental state away from destructive emotions and towards more meritorious neutral or positive states.

It is also, thanks to recent research into mediation and neuroscience, now known that mediation does in fact have benefits for both the mind and the body.

Chamtrul Rinpoche here, brings these ideas together, looking at how crucial meditation is for balance and harmony – within ourselves, across our relationships and also cultures.
